Take some xkcd, add a dash of beer and stir with the burning indignation that comes from marking exams all day and reading Ray Comfort on the way home. That will create these lyrics.
The music is 6/8 locrian madness (except for the bits the aren’t)…. and don’t ask me where the inspiration for it came from. You should know that my music may exhibit dynamics that are highly sensitive to initial conditions.
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Strange equations
In my mind
Pulling from
The intertwined
Lucid thoughts
Of life defined
Chorus:
Unleash…. Unleash the power of
Science…. For it will make all your
Paths straight….
So stand back….
I’m going to try science
Verse 2:
Chaos explains
The random world
Butterfly flap
And we’re hurled
In fractal ways
We watch unfurl
One. Fucking. Hundred.
Time for some oldskool thrash.
With cupcakes….
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Its time
Right now
For a
Degustation
Unleash
Flavours
On your
Imagination
Chorus:
Taste the tempting delight
Dessert of godlessness
Verse 2:
Chocolate
Covered
Logic
Celebration
Cupcakes
Coated
With gods
Eradication
A nice little ditty about astrology.
Click this link to see why I’d write a song attacking such a “harmless” superstition. Spoiler…. its not just because it is total bullshit (although that probably would be enough knowing my personality)
The song itself was easy to write, and the entire process was observed by my girlfriend. The verse is kind of slow and dense, slightly inspired by the music from the Mass Effect 2 Trailer. The song itself is in drop-D, which allowed some different chords to be used (9ths and 6ths), the verse riff has a nice slow groove…. typical of what I usually do in this tuning.
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Listen to magic forces
That pull us to and fro
Driven by magic forces
With knowledge to bestow
Chorus:
Retrograde
Accept your fate
Retrograde
The stars dictate
Verse 2:
Looking up to see downward
The houses and the signs
Astral bodies push us forward
Show us your designs
Bridge:
Astrology is not the way
Pseudoscience leads us astray
Astronomy shows us the way
True science reality ok!
Verse 3:
Hasten to changing of tides
Out with ignorance
Chasten by our true guides
Tested by science
Verse 4:
The future is not effected
By unrelated stars
Coincidences not connected
Listen to scholars
This is what happens when I go to an extreme metal gig.
It is an instrumental inspired by seeing Cradle of Filth live. Although it sounds completely unlike them. The interesting thing is that the whole song was built around dance beats. I’d pick a beat, and then write the music to go over it. It has a completely danceable groove for awhile, then a tremolo picked black metal riff for the bridge that leads into the surf guitar solo which takes us back to the groove….
The title is obviously taking the piss out of everything and everyone who is trve.
